Too bad SD is far from Redondo Beach as Status does a lot of high line cars. The day I got my wheels and tires mounted a Ferrari and Range were getting wheels mounted.

Hey Andy,

Did you try Spy Engineering (aka B+G suspension) on Sorrento?

MIAPLAYA was mentioning on how Chad (protocav) knows those guys.
They sell Works and HRE's and can mount up the big wheels.

I had my Volks cross rotated and balanced there.

It beats Discount tire.

Yeah, I'll second Spy for mounting your tires for you. Otherwise, Performance Tire on Miramar Road.

Performance Tire couldn't handle it, Spy would mount and balance but wouldn't install. So I eneded up going to Discount Tire on Miramar Rd, and you know what, they did it! Took 'em 4 guys to get the rear tires on the wheels .

hey andy,
good to hear that you were able to get them mounted. we have problems with that exact size because the sidewall is so low. we typically send them to shoreline motoring in costa mesa, or other shops in LA, since we have a driver that does that commute every day. discount has damaged many of that exact tire for us, but it was nice to see that there was no drama. Pics?
